Long Time No Blog

THE SHOGUN IS BACK ON THE SCENE, AND THE SHOGUN IS THE MASTER!!!

With that out the way, its been a while since I’ve blogged, so here’s the four month recap:

  • Still working in Yonkers.
  • Even cooler fro!

I apologize to the many friends who I’ve been MIA to the last few months, 2007 has been a pretty crazy year (good year, but crazy nonetheless). ‘Til next time (a shorter next time I hope).

Fresh For ’07

Yeaaaah Booyyyyeee!!!

Greetings and salutations one and all. So 2007 starts off right for the firebird. I started a new job in Yonkers (HOORAY FOR ME BILLY!!! HOORAY FOR ME!!!) which will finally bring the stability I longed for. I feel reinspired as an artist thanks to my family and friends. And I feel like I’m finally in a position to make moves. I’ll hopefully be able to start upgrading my tech in the next couple of weeks (computer, camera, etc.).

2007 started off good, so hopefully it will keep on so I can finally upgrade this site and its content. Until then, I appreciate the increasing masses who visit PhoenixRizin.com (500+ a month now!).

Ups and Downs

So the last week or so has had good news and bad news. The good news is that i had a great production showcase at Red Bank High School in New Jersey, sponsored by RockyPresents and NJSlam. The bad news is that my laptop ceased to power up the next day. I guess it’s like they say, gotta spend money to make money.

Life is kicking my butt right now, but for anyone who gets the quote, “Can’t rain all the time.”

Technology Sucks Part 3

Why me?

Once again, my laptop, in its infinite wisdom, has decided to betray me. Once again, my power supply is acting up, giving me on again, off again charge. I know how to fix it, but I have one stripped screw preventing me from opening my computer (which I have been told how to circumvent). Just another day in the life of everyone’s favorite animator!

Disconnected

Phoenix couldn’t phone home.

In fact, I was pretty much silenced for 5 days. My cell service had been accidentally been terminated, which posed an interesting situation. While I enjoyed the serenity of my phone not ringing, I do have work to do and people being unable to reach me doesn’t help. However, the break from constant travel and meetings helped me have more time to actually work. And as projects wind down, I look forward to an ever-elusive vacation. Til’ then, Phoenix keeps toiling.

On another note, as some may have noticed I recently redesigned my site. One of the things I added was an archive of all my blogs, and reading them made me realize that I need to bring back to humor to these things. You won’t know when the bad jokes will strike, but they will! So stay tuned…
